The new fast train to Bar Harbor over the
Maine Central and Boston roads will make its
first trip July T. The train viii be made up
of five Pullman vestibule cars and will be the
first kind In New England. A description of
the manner in which these ears are made will
therefore be of peculiar interest now They
sre each about seventy feet In length and by
the new Nes.bule connections are made Ike
the rooms OF house. The platforms are en-
tirely enclosed. Only the steps remind one, In
these ears, that such thing platform ex-
lists. At the head OF each short flight of steps
is panelled door, extending across the width
OF the platform, and finished 10 hard wood,
like the door OF an ordinary car. The con.
struciion OF the sestibule consists primarily
OF broad thick frame of steel ike huge in
verified ox-bow. which is supported by strong
elastic pressure derived from springs. The ef-
feet Of the springs upon the steel frames IL TO
csuse them 10 project several inches beyond
the platform when the car Is detached from
the train, but when two ycstibule cars are
connected the effect Of the ordinary close coup
ling devices in use is TO cause the steel frames
with which they are provided to be forced
backward, and the pressure springs being
therefore compressed. the broad faces OF the
frames press upon each other in close contact
throughout the whole surface. and with very
considerable force. Within the yestibules the
finish and furni>hingis as elaborate as any part
OF the car. The side doors are securely barred |
while the train l. in motion, but can be thrown |
open instantly when stop is made. The yes- |
tibule space Il hrisntl. lighted. The new |
system OF connecting cars, besides removing
the diScomforts usually experienced In going !

A Free Library.

The Federation of Labor unions and Dis
trict Assembly No. 66, Knights OF Labor,
representing more than fifty labor organi-
cations, have issued an appeal to citizens
and residents Of Washington In which they
are asked for the means to establish In that
city free circulating library, with reading
rooms similar to those in Boston, New
York, Philadelphia, st. Louis, Baltimore,
and other cities. Quite number Of prom
inent business men have consented to act
with the workingmen's committee, and
have appended their names to the appeal.
There can be no doubt as to the result,
for the citizens of Washington always re-
spond freely when called upon for any laud-
able enterprise that promises benedt to the
city or Its people.
That there is need OF free library, with
comfortable reading rooms for both sexes
attached, is not to be questioned, for vhile
the congressional library is the best In the
country, 1t is not kept open at hours which
make 1t accessible to most OF tho people,
and at present has very slight accommoda-
tions in the way Of reading rooms even for
those whose engagements permit them to
visit 1t between and o'clock.
We believe 1t only necessary to call the
attention OF the people Of Washington to
the effort that is being made to secure
earnest andhcsrty support for the intended
benefaction. Maj. d. W. Rhodes has been
fully authorized to act for the committee
in charge Of this work.

upon tonight to meet at the armory Of the

beautiful city Of which we are all 80 proud
by Offering some well due testimonial to
ALEXANDER r. SHEPHERD
1t would be improper and untlmely to re-
vert to the days when there were some OF
the people of the city who failed to under
stand the grand plans conceived by Gov.
Shepherd aud carried out IN spite of oppo-
sitior, which, in their frultIon, have made
Washington the most beautiful city OF the
world.
1t is now universally admitted that the
conceptions Of Governor Shepherd were
worthy of the city planned by the Immortal
Washington as fit capital for the great
republic Of which he Is called the father.
This being SO, the hall tonight should be
filled with the citizens Of the great and
beautiful city to honor the name of the
man to whom it owes most, next to It's
founder, for its beauty aud magnilcence.
Every one interested In Washington
every one proud Of it's present and of its
certain future, should unite In the proposed
testimonial to Governor Shepherd. No one
can afford to refuse.

The New Year of the Hebrews.

Yesterday at the setting Of the sun the
bration Of the "Rosh IIashanah," as setapa
by the command in Leyiticus, chapter kill,
verses xxiy and XIV, which reads, "SpeRk
unto the children Of Israel, saying, In the
seventh month, in the first day Of the
month, shall ye have a Sabbath, memorial
a blowing Of trumpets, holy convocation.
Ye shall do no serylle work therein but ye
shall offer an Offering made by fire unto the
LORD" This command is repeated in the
first verse OF the twenty ninth chapter of
Numbers, in the following language: "And
in the seventh month, on the first day OF
tho month, ye shall have holy convocs-
tion; ye shall 90 no seryile work; 1t is day
OF blowing the trumpets unto you"
This, according to the Biblical calendar,
is the beginning OF the year 504S from the
creation Of the world, and is the commence
ment OF the ten penitential days which
continue until the day OF atonement, which
will occur on the 2Sth instant, and of which
account will be given later. These holidays
are the most solemn and important In the
Jewish calendar, as all persons are sup
posed to be in judgment, and arralgn thelr
conseiences for their conduct of the past
year, when, II they have confessed them
eelves to God and resolved upon amend
ment, pardon is promised, as Will be seer
by reference to Ishah, !, Z aud Ezekiel
xviii, 2l-32.
Among the Hebrews the day Is called the
dav Of memorial, the day of Judgment,
and the day Of sounding the trumpet, each

The Sugar Industry.

The result of the work done at Fort
Scott, Kan, in using the diffusion process
FOR the manufacture OF sugar promises to
revolutionize the sugar industry In this
country. Last year Commissioner Colmau
secured an appropriation for the purpose OF
experimenting with the diffusion process
in making sugar from sorghum and cane
Machinery was imported from Germany,
and the results were not altogether salts
factory, but with the new American made
machinery more has been accomplished
than was claimed or expected.
The sorghum cane from 600 acres Of land
near Fort Worth has been used in the mills,
and the result has been astonishing to the
manufacturers. One hundred pounds of
sugar to the ton has been made from the first
striking, and It is estimated that twenty
pounds will be made from the second. One
hundred and twenty pounds will be worth
SO so wholesale. With that there are two
bushels Of seed putting that at so cents a
busEel, is dollar more, $3.50. Ten gallons
OF molasses at 20 cents gallon is also pro-
drced, and we find that So SO is received for
every ton Of cane that goes through the mill.
The grower receives Sc per ton, and there
ought to be about $3.50 left to pay the ex-
penses Of labor. You can figure 1t out and
zee whether there is any profit in this In
duetry.
The soil Of Kansas is said to be peculiarly
adapted to the cultivation Of sorghum, pro-
ducing an average of from ten to twelve
tons per acre each year, and one man with
apair of horses can cultivate forty to fifty
acres. With the price at So per ton this
would give as the result of one mani
labor for few weeks each year from $500
to $1,000. There is hardly state In the
central belt Of the Union but what will give
as great yield per acre of the sorghum
cane as does the land in Kansas, and IL
would seem that new industry is about to
be developed which will prevent the send
ing abroad over 800 900, 900 year for the
purchase Of one of the absolute necessaries
Of life.
Commissioner Colman deserves great
credit for his perseverance in this mat
ter, and is to be congratulated on It's
success. 1t has been well said that the
man who causes two blades of grass to
giow where only one grew formerly is a
benefactor Of mankind, aud the man who
succeeds in establishing great industry,
giving profitable employment to thousand,
Of people, should certainly have similar
honors.
The NATIONAL REPUBLICAN has persis-
tently opposed the attempt TO force the
cultivation of tropical plant In an insult
able climate by tax on the people for the
benefit OF few, but 1t will hail with de-
light the day when the country can pro-
duce the sugar that 1t needs, and it would
seem that day is at hand.
Kansas has offered a bounty of two cents
per pound for every pound of sugar pro
duced in the state. The United States
ought to repeal Its import tax on sugar aud
offer similar bounty for every pound OF
sugar produced from any material. That
would reduce the surplus money in the
treasury and encourage the building up OF
new and profitable industry.

A Calamity to the Country.
The Richmond Wing says:


There are great many Democrats who be.
lieye that II would be calamity to the party
and to the country to re-elect as speaker OF the
House . man who used his position to pack
committees against legislation which the peo.
pie desired, and who refused TO recognize a
Democrat who wishes TO move to suspend the
rules and pass a bill TO relieve the people from
q useless and intolerable burden-the tobacco
tax; but we do not believe that there Is a high
tariff Democratic member of Congress who
would conspire to defeat the Dem ocratic Or
ganization of the House. When 1t comes to
maintaining the organization of the party the
protection Democrats have always proved true
10 their colors.
1t is true that the selection OF Mr.. Carlisle
as speaker would be calamity to the coun-
try, and yet the IPhig advises his election
In the event party caucus determines on
1t. This may be patriotism, but we hardly
so understand the word. The Wig places
the dictation Of a portion OF its party, that
1t knows to be In error, above the good Of
the country and what 1t believes to be the
good of the party. This is confession OF
the most servlle submission to party behest
that ever disgraced an American news
paper.
